[Quoted] [Quoted] If you search the archives of the c.d.o. usenet groups for this year on google [Quoted] you will find postings from Alison Holloway of Oracle.

Alison is the person at Oracle responsible for SQL*Plus and based on her postings, which you can locate and read, and private communications I can state as follows:

1. SQL*Plus Windows is deprecated as of 10i.
2. SQL*Plus command line will remain for all platforms to support users as well as Perl, KSH, etc. scripting. [Quoted]
3. isQL*Plus, currently available in 9i will be the standard user interface.
